"Hi Armand,

Yes, as long as the Parkinson’s is not too advanced, we have seen the walking poles successfully help improve balance along with comments of feeling more clear minded (which would happen because of the increased oxygen flow to your heart, lungs and brain).

Sheri, The Pole Lady, has spoken at Parkinson’s Association Meetings before and says it’s been wonderful what she’s seen and heard from those who use the walking poles.

As for your hips, the walking poles take 26% impact off your lower joints versus regular walking so - it is actually recommended over walking without them."

Hope this helps,
Rosie
